The story follows a group of bungling ne'er-do-wells who hatch a plan to rob a security van at King's Cross station. To maintain the perfect cover, they pose as a travelling string quartet needing rooms at a local boarding house. The unsuspecting landlady, Mrs Wilberforce, low on funds and rich in gossip, happily welcomes them and their unwieldy musical instruments. However, this poses a challenge. While plotting their heist, they inevitably have to demonstrate their musical prowess, leading to hilarious moments of ingenious improvisation. As expected, the best-laid plans of mice and men begin to unravel in a fast-paced masterpiece of chaos and comedy mayhem.
